Fans will have the opportunity to build Westeros from the ground up, starting with a first layer of 1000+ jigsaw pieces. The second layer features 200+ jigsaw pieces that replicate the 3D landscape from the show’s opening credits, while the third and most exciting layer is the multiple painted miniature 3D replica models of the famous cities and castles, including King’s Landing, Winterfell, Eyrie, the Wall and many more. This puzzle comes loaded with information and fun facts about the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

I enjoy doing puzzles, and I have put together and glued over 10. The bottom layer of this puzzle is one of the more challenging because (as most reviews have said) it is poorly cut. You WILL end up with ~10 black ocean pieces that don't fit anywhere, because other pieces fit in their spots. Luckily Most of the non-ocean pieces are labeled by city or region, so for a larger puzzle the bulk of it isn't bad. The second layer with foam came out in huge chunks already stuck together, but that was a bonus after dealing with re-arranging the last 10 ocean pieces.

It is worth the challenge, but I would recommend a flashlight and looking at the waves and lines in the ocean to see where the pieces go. You will notice hill-like waves in some areas, and strong current-lines in others. The rest of the puzzle is moderately easy, but that feeling of being down to 20 pieces knowing you're almost done only to find out you still have work to do because black pieces are in the wrong spot is frustrating. After putting it all together it is worth it.

The castles are insanely detailed, it's a very expensive puzzle but you're definitely getting what you pay for. It even comes with a weirwood tree for Winterfell with fake leaves, the castles are detailed. Only downside is it seems the puzzle was made about book 3/season 3 so Highgarden, Dorne, and the Dreadfort/Moat Cailin aren't very emphasized, but I'm still pleased with it.

Be careful removing the land markers and stickers, it is not fun to superglue the marker together or fix the sticker with tape like I had to because I wasn't paying attention when separating the pieces. It's not difficult, just pay attention.

The puzzle has all the makings of a being a real stunner. Unfortunately, the execution is seriously lacking. Plenty of pieces were broken out of the box, many more falling apart, and the way the pieces are cut makes it very easy to put a piece in a wrong place and not notice it. All in all, HBO should have had a proper quality puzzle maker like Ravensburger make this product. Quality as is way too low to justify the price, or meet the quality standards of any self-respecting puzzle hobbyist.

The excellent result when you get it all assembled keeps you going. It was the most challenging puzzle I have ever done. If the piece does not fit perfectly it is NOT the right piece! This puzzle is for puzzle whizzes. It is my fourth 4D puzzle and the best of all of them. I love 4D puzzles. It is for true Game of Thrones fans. It is very high quality.

This puzzle has potential to be amazing. BUT, the puzzle pieces are extremely hard to differentiate from one another such as the black border pieces and the sea(s). Even looking at the map and the box, it doesn't help much. Also, the pieces aren't fully cut and tear easily.

MY FAMILY SAYS I CAN BLAZE THROUGH PUZZLES LIKE NOTHING, NOT THIS ONE BY FAR. IT TOOK 7 WEEKS(2 DAYS A WEEK) OF WORKING ON IT BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOW W FAMILY N FRIENDS. WE ALL LEARNED A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS LIKE ROADS AND RIVERS SMALL TOWNS. THE MOST CONFUSING PART WAS THE BORDER, WE HAD TO FINISH THAT LAST. IF YOU WANT A CHALLAGE GET THIS PUZZLE IT IS FREAKING AWSOME WHEN ITS ALL DONE. PS THERE IS ONLY A VERY SMALL LITTLE BIGGER THAN A 5X7 PICTURE TO GO OFF SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND A KNOWLEDGABLE PERSON AROUND TO TELL YOU WHERE SMALL STUFF IS.... HAHAHA

I really enjoyed putting together this awesome puzzle! It was a great challenge, especially the edges and the water areas and I even ended up borrowing my fiancee's magnifying glass headseat (LOL I looked super silly with it on!). I spent days working on the puzzle but the challenge is soooo worth it. Once everything is put together, with the castles and markers, you are able to see all the details and the landscape of Westeros comes alive! I absolutely love it!

I just finished all the layers, and now I am planning on displaying the puzzle. I absolutely love the 4D landscape, but I also really enjoy the detail of the first layer of the puzzle. I think it will be a shame to cover the first layer, so I am still deciding how to go about the framing or displaying of this piece, but nevertheless it has been wonderful. I'm sure it will look even better once I decide how to frame it.

I bought this puzzle because of its unique, multi-level structure, and it visually represents one of my favorite fantasy locations, Westeros. I'm looking forward to a few upcoming days off from work to put it together!

My husband and I have enjoyed doing puzzles together for a long time - we are used to finishing them rather quickly. This one however was...annoying.

The pieces of the first layer are more square shaped and it's really easy to fit the wrong pieces together, which is not helpful when trying to do the edges and water. There are some tiny details in the water, but they are so hard to see they don't really help.

A few of the darker water pieces also came pretty banged up - the edges have bits of white that show on the final puzzle. We also had a few of the tops of pieces pop off the bottom, but we were able to glue them back together.

Overall it's a really neat puzzle - we enjoyed learning the geography - but the quality was lacking for what we expected.

I love this puzzle but I have to agree with some of the other comments. The guide is waaaay to small, really not useful at all. The other thing is that the pieces are not cut well. As it was pricey I would have expected better. On the positive side, it is beautiful and I am anxious to complete. Learning a lot about GOT as I go along

Definitely a fun puzzle to make but with one downside. Puzzle pieces fit perfectly together even when it's not the right piece. We had to completely redo the black edges and a lot of the plain black pieces because one piece would be wrong but fit like it was right. The mainland pieces all have bits of roads/rivers/trees/mountains/names of places so it is easy to tell if you have one of those pieces wrong contextually. With the black pieces it's near impossible. This was frustrating to say the least. But overall the puzzle is exactly like the map of Westeros we're all used to seeing and is challenging enough to suck you in.

Hugely satisfying when finished, but took about 100 hours....very frustrating that so many of the ocean and border pieces are so visually similar , cut exactly the same, and interchangeable. This part took an inordinate amount of time and was maddening even for experienced puzzle-solvers. Map guide/picture is way too small and hard to read. Magnifying glass and flashlight/ high intensity lighting are necessary to read/see the details. In the end, it was worth it...final puzzle is quite dazzling.

I love 4D puzzles, Game of Thrones, and HBO Shows. I never miss Game of Thrones, I have had HBO for years, and I have done a number of the 4D cityscape puzzles. This is a very high quality product and meets the high quality standards of all three of these.

With the base puzzles terrain having very little variation, the place names become vital to the completion. The puzzle guide included is so small you can barely make out the place names even using a magnifying glass. Serious headache fodder. I'm sure I will love it once it's complete but the super small guide adds an unnecessary element of difficulty

As another reviewer said, pieces were not all cut out all the way, otherwise overall quality was pretty good.

This puzzle is very challenging, but mostly fun. Bottom layer landscape is all very similar, challenging but doable. I am an experiences puzzler, but I found the ocean pieces without words or coastlines (prob about 50 pieces) to be infuriating. The pieces are all cut very similarly and will usually "fit" in a number of spots. The texture and waves on the oceans are so similar and subtle that it is nearly impossible to tell if you actually have it put together right. This was very frustrating and nearly ruined an otherwise enjoyable experience.
